Heat the whole milk and cream in a wide, shallow pot over low heat until it begins to simmer.

2

Cook Slowly

Cool and Chill

Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

4

Collect the Kaymak

10 min

Ocağı yeterince kısmadan pişirdim ve tencerenin tabanı tuttu, kaymak hafif yanık kokusu aldı; tam 3 saat sonra fark ettim, bir dahakine 2 saatte kontrol edip erkenden bakacağım.
